context_page_description: The Fort Henry Guard is a historical interpretation and exhibition drill organization based at Fort Henry, a national historic site in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. It has recreated the British military tradition of a bygone era since its founding in 1938. The Guard seeks to interpret in an entertaining and animated manner, a snapshot of life in the British Army of Queen Victoria, when Canada was part of the British Empire. The Guard also practices and performs historic military drill, demonstrated during daily inspections, cannon firings and garrison parades in addition to the weekly Sunset Ceremonies. Guard members dress in the standard line infantry uniforms of a British regiment and the standard gunner's uniforms of the Royal Artillery in the year 1867, but the Guard does not represent any specific infantry regiment that garrisoned the fort.
  The Fort Henry Guard consists primarily of university, college, and high school students from the Kingston area. It is an entirely civilian organization with no formal ties to the Canadian Forces. The Guard performs and provides interpretive programming from May to October.
